Project Overview

The Kampala Urban Road Smart Lighting Upgrade was developed to improve the efficiency and operating performance of urban roadway lighting through a combination of high-efficiency LED Street Lights and intelligent lighting control.

The project included the supply of 1,000 sets of 80W LED Street Lights for urban roadway applications in Kampala, Uganda.

The lighting system integrates three control functions:

Microwave Motion Sensor + Light Control + Timer Control

This configuration allows roadway lighting operation to be adjusted according to movement conditions, ambient light and programmed operating schedules.

The project achieved a reported 28% energy-saving improvement.

For LIKELITE, this project represents a project-oriented approach to smart roadway lighting, combining luminaire selection, lighting design, electrical planning, simulation and project installation support rather than treating the LED fixture as an isolated product.

Project Requirements

The Kampala project required a roadway lighting configuration capable of operating reliably under outdoor conditions while supporting intelligent control and energy-efficiency objectives.

The main project requirements included:

• 1,000 sets of LED Street Lights

• 80W rated power

• AC 220V–240V input

• IP66 outdoor protection

• 10KV surge protection

• 1.5KV voltage resistance

• Lumileds SMD2835 LED source

• 150 lm/W luminous efficiency

• 5000K ±300K color temperature

• Ra 80 color rendering

• Aluminum alloy housing

• PVoC certification

• 2-year warranty

• Intelligent roadway control

• Professional lighting design and simulation

• Project installation support

The lighting system was configured around the actual requirements of an urban roadway upgrade rather than simply replacing an existing lamp with an LED fixture of similar wattage.

Project Scope

The project scope covered the LED lighting equipment together with the engineering services required for project implementation.

Project Supply

• 1,000 × 80W LED Street Lights

• Intelligent control configuration

• PVoC-compliant project configuration

• AC power supply

Lighting Engineering

• Lighting and circuitry design

• Onsite metering

• DIALux Evo layout

• Litepro DLX layout

• AutoCAD layout

• AGi32 layout

Project Implementation

• Product configuration

• Lighting calculation support

• Electrical layout support

• Installation support

• Project commissioning assistance

This project-oriented delivery structure allows the lighting equipment, roadway layout and control strategy to be considered together.

Smart Control Configuration

The Kampala project uses three complementary control functions.

Microwave Motion Sensor

The microwave motion sensor provides movement detection for roadway lighting management.

Depending on the configured project logic, lighting operation can respond to vehicle or pedestrian movement conditions.

This is particularly relevant for roadway sections where traffic levels vary during different periods of the night.

Light Control

The light-control function responds to ambient lighting conditions and supports automatic day/night operation.

It helps avoid unnecessary operation when sufficient natural light is available.

Timer Control

Timer control provides scheduled lighting operation according to the project's predefined operating requirements.

The combination of motion detection, ambient-light control and time-based control provides greater flexibility than a conventional fixed-operation lighting system.

Lighting Engineering Approach

Smart roadway lighting performance depends not only on the LED fixture but also on the relationship between the luminaire, road geometry, pole arrangement, electrical infrastructure and control strategy.

For the Kampala project, LIKELITE's engineering support can be organized around the following workflow:

Onsite Metering

Roadway Data Collection

Lighting & Circuitry Design

DIALux Evo / Litepro DLX Simulation

AutoCAD / AGi32 Layout

Project Installation

The objective is to ensure that the selected 80W LED Street Light is evaluated within the actual roadway application rather than only by its nominal power rating.

LED Street Light Configuration

The project uses an 80W LIKELITE LED Street Light configured for urban roadway applications.

Key technical parameters include:

Project Performance

The Kampala project achieved a reported 28% energy-saving improvement.

The energy-saving result was supported by the combined application of:

• High-efficiency 80W LED Street Lights

• 150 lm/W luminous efficiency

• Microwave motion sensing

• Ambient-light control

• Timer-based operation

• Roadway lighting engineering

• Project-specific lighting configuration

The control system allows lighting operation to be better matched to actual roadway conditions instead of relying exclusively on a fixed operating pattern.

The project therefore addresses both sides of roadway energy management:

Lighting Efficiency + Operating Control
